Concert
Put one hundred of my kind
 
 
 
 
 
 on a field one summer night
 
 
 
 
 watch us light it up like stars.
 
 
 
 
 A tingling charge fills the air
 
 
 
 
 a whole new
 
 
 
 
 renewable energy source
 
 
 
 
 eternal,free, dangerous,
 
 
 
 
 we glow if you're watching closely.
 
 
 
 
 It starts with the music.
 
 
 
 
 It always starts with the music.
 
 
 
 
 A pulse, the bass, the heartbeat
 
 
 
 
 makes us stretch for something
 
 
 
 
 we can't see, draw closer to
 
 
 
 
 feel the heat in the crowd.
 
 
 
 
 The scent of fire, and recklessness
 
 
 
 
 We're all delicately balanced,
 
 
 
 
 hovering on the balls of our feet,
 
 
 
 
 ready
 
 
 
 
 set
 
 
 
 
 go.
 
 
 
 
 When we dance, it's a high,
 
 
 
 
 we can hear nothing
 
 
 
 
 but the music
 
 
 
 
 feel nothing
 
 
 
 
 but the power and joy of living
 
 
 
 
 see nothing
 
 
 
 
 save each other
 
 
 
 
 and the stars. 
 
 
 
 
 When the dawn opens the heavens
 
 
 
 
 all we can do is smile,
 
 
 
 
 drained and radiant.
 
 
 
 
 Yeah, we're crazy,
 
 
 
 
 we're geniuses but 
 
 
 
 
 the dumbest things this 
 
 
 
 
 side of the moon,
 
 
 
 
 We're Earth's greatest resource
 
 
 
 
 We will live forever.
 
 
 
 
 We
 
 
 
 
 are
 
 
 
 
 young.
